He is selling the property is free from all charges and encumbrances and all other rights exercisable by third parties other than those which the seller does not and could not reasonably be expected to know about.

When selling with Limited title guarantee, covenant C does not apply.

In replacement of covenant C, the seller covenants that he has not since the last sale:-

Created any encumbrances (adverse rights) over the property himself but cannot speak for the former owners.

Limited title guarantee means that the seller of the property has no personal knowledge of the property for example Attorney, personal representative, trustee, repossession. Therefore they cannot give full title guarantee that the property is not subject to any financial charges and that no others have any rights over the property. They are not aware.
